OANTOF- show vs book

The show was definitely a lot different than the book. If I had to choose one or the other it would definitely have to be the book. I feel as though the show concentrated to much on realism which somewhat defeated depicting the concept of the story in the book. First of all I don't get where they thinks alright to change her name to Jess from Jeanette. But my main issue was definitely the fact that any of Jeanette fantasy were depicted in the show. I get that I guess it would have made the show much different but I think I would have definitely found it more interesting. I'm almost certain if there was a different producer or director, they would have seen a much different vision of the story than did whomever actually produced it. I feel as though her fantasies told us a lot about her in a way. It not only showed her humor at times but also how she used them to escape reality and depict what she really may have wanted to happen. The show actually for some reason gave me a "Little house on the Prairie" vibe. It may have been because it looked old but it was just very boring to me. I personally almost never enjoy the movie remake of books I have read anyway because they don't give the book the credit and worth it deserves, as this show did not to its book. A lot of other scenes did not happen in the show as well that I noticed right from the start. For example Jess and Ms.Jewsbury never had sex in the show as they did in the book. I think that scene was important because it shows a lot about Jeanettes character. Either way, long story short, I definitely enjoyed the book rather than the show.
