A double life at 3:59 a.m.

Josie Byrne’s late-night dreams introduce her to Jo, a girl whose family life, popularity, and romance contrast with Josie’s own troubles. The boundary between dream and waking life shifts when Josie sees Jo in her mirror, turning the resemblance between the two girls into the story’s central mystery. The premise brings together parallel lives and a science-fiction-horror element, with the recurring time of 3:59 a.m. anchoring the uncanny connection.
