* AscendedExtra: In the original book, Sandra was more of an observer to the club and never shared any stories except for a rambling anecdote about losing her virginity to some guy in the park. [[spoiler:The fact she didn't have any stories foreshadowed Sandra being misdiagnosed, meaning she was never really part of the club because she wasn't going to die.]] Here, Sandra has her storyline regarding her faith and eventually delivers ''Gimme A Kiss''. [[spoiler:She still ends up leaving because she was misdiagnosed.]]
* BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:In the novel, Sandra was the patient who was misdiagnosed and left the hospice. Ilonka eventually realized Sandra never had stories to share because she wasn't dying, and thus wasn't really part of the club. Here, Sandra does have a story to tell while it's Cheri who never shares any tales with the club giving the sense to those who read the original book that Cheri's the one who'll leave the hospice. It later turns out Sandra's still the misdiagnosed teenager.]]

* JumpScare: The first story that is told features a lot of these, which is heavily called out by the others. WordOfGod says this was done after Netflix asked he include some, and not being a fan of them, he did this as a troll. This has earned the series the Guinness World Record for most jump scares in a TV episode.
