YA or chick lit, but I only remember an excerpt

[Megan]

This has been driving me crazy for literally years. I *think* it was my mothers which would make it some kind of adult fiction, chick lit, possibly romance but there's a slim chance it was also young adult. Probably not sci fi or any really out there supernatural stuff because that's never been my "type" even though the part I remember makes it sound like it could be. I probably read it in the late 90s through maybe 2005? Possibly slightly later. I remember the book giving me a "The Lovely Bones" vibe, but it definitely wasn't it. The only part I remember I think was actually a story within the story. Maybe a dream or a retelling of something a character in the actual book had heard. Anyway, that part was about a girl with a really pretty older sister and I believe their mother was concerned that she'd get into trouble because she was so pretty. So she somehow turned her into this glittery or shimmery pink gel substance, poured her into a Tupperware container, and stuck her in the fridge. I think the little sister would go talk to her and look at her sometimes, and then one day she drank her. Any ideas?

This has been found :D It was a short story in Seventeen magazine which would explain why I couldn't remember anything else that happened. It was called The Melting Queen. It can be found here http://gretchen04.xanga.com/564757524...

Cool! Make sure you move it to the proper folder - either Solved or YA Solved, please.

Since this is not a book, would "Other Solved" be more appropriate for this post?

I've decided to put it in 'Other Solved' - tx all!
