I thought I'd ask you guys what are the differences between the books and new show. Obviously this thread will have spoilers !
From the top of my head :
Obviously there's a difference from book Dawn and book Mary Anne
Charlottes mother is a art teacher not a dr and in a relationship with a woman as far as I can tell
Logan doesn't have blonde hair and he's a library volunteer
which I love as I'm one too .
TV Watson is younger than the bald older book Watson

Dawn’s dad is gay
No Jeff
Claudia lives next door, not across the street
No Peaches (that’s what I thought Mimi was getting at)
Jenny Prezzioso was replaced with Bailey
Trevor is an artist, not a poet
Watson’s old gray car is now a fancy Porsche
Dawn and MA discover their parents dated just by Morbidda yelling it out
Mrs. Porter is actually Dawn’s aunt, but Dawn’s grandparents haven’t appeared yet, although they seem to be living in one of their houses?
Claudia actually does have art history knowledge in the books, but seems to lack it at times (pop art, Seurat), but then also knows 1990s NYC artists
Mary Anne loves musical theater and directs and even acts on stage
BMW instead of Junk Bucket!
No Nannie, just Watson’s mom
The Pike triplets may not even be triplets, since Byron is so much smaller, and only Mallory is supposed to have red hair. (I could see it being really hard to find identical triplets to cast, though.)

Charlottes mother is a art teacher not a dr and in a relationship with a woman as far as I can tell Charlotte's mother is a doctor and her other mother is the art teacher (still different from the book though) Karen is creepy rather than bratty Alex from sea city is gay |

Oh, it looks like Claudia is the shortest and Mary Anne is taller.

The book Mary Anne would never do that. |

Morbidda Destiny is an actual witch
And is related to Dawn. I found that cool.

The big house neighborhood looked like it was the next block over instead of across town. Most of their early clients seemed to be people who Watson recruited.

The BSC was sitting for the Marshall's before the club right? I feel like they were and yet they were the first that called the club.

Camp Mohawk is called Camp Moosehead.
No babysitting for the big group of kids in Kristy's Big Day.
No playgroup in Claudia and Mean Janine.
The girls find out about Stacey's diabetes in the episode The Truth About Stacey, rather than in Kristy's Great Idea like in the books.
Logan comes into the series earlier than in the books.
Toby (Alex's cousin) is Canadian rather than from New Jersey.

Mary Anne decides to keep Humpty Dumpty in her room after learning it belonged to her mom as a little girl
Logan doesn't have a southern accent; no mention of him being from the South
Mary Anne doesn't call Dawn for help in Mary Anne Saves the Day, she just calls 911 right away
References to menstruation -Claudia is making an art sculpture about it in the first episode, Kristy gets her period at her mom's wedding
