Kind of the dream hornbook for someone who wants to review 1L contracts but in a pretty theoretical way that gives a good taste of the academic literature. I enjoyed it immensely.

Contracts are vibes. When the vibes are fucked, there is no contract. When the vibes are correct, however, there is.

I mean, it's a law school supplement that I could confidently recommend to laypeople who are just interested in Contracts. Barnett is extremely precise, super insightful, and has a novel defense of contract rights rooted in Hayek. Just a great book.
