Bangles cofounder Susanna Hoffs' first novel follows a one-hit wonder, 10 years later

Start is 33 and living with her parents – her days of pop stardom, for one song, are 10 years behind her.

In today's episode, Hoffs tells NPR's Andrew Limbong how her own experiences as a rockstar influenced the story, which she's now adapting into a feature film.
