In a minor but inspired ongoing feature,the book offers short vignettes inspired by true-life retail experiences. Intotal, Cellies feels like a successful ensemble TV sitcom, and the bookends with a cliffhanger of sorts, as Reyhaab, a teenager from a strict religiousfamily, faces punishment from her parents for lying to them, and Christiansuffers from the effects of an overlong tanning session.
