“A Summer’s End deftly portrays the strange freedom that comes with uncertainty, in knowing the future can be what you make of it.”

“A Summer's End tells a wonderful story about a lesbian relationship, which gives representation and insight into the Asian LGBT+ community. Woven through Sam and Michelle's romance are the challenges of coming out and society's expectations for women, but also the joy of love and hope.”
Eurogamer
