I also think people excuse a lot of Fitz’s behavior way too easily. Without spoilers, all I can say is that he nearly resulted in someone’s death in Flashback because he was so mad. Throughout the books, he shows numerous times that he cares more about himself than Sophie. He gets mad at her for purely selfish reasons. Keefe, on the other hand, only ever makes decisions that he thinks will have the best outcome for everyone. Yes, some of those decisions are rash and end badly, but he ALWAYS has good intentions. Both Fitz and Keefe do things that upset Sophie, but I think the reason behind these actions makes all the difference. Fitz only ever angers Sophie when his head isn’t in the right place, when he’s being selfish. Keefe only ever angers Sophie when he’s trying his best to do the right thing. Also, Sophie’s main motivations for liking Fitz are surface-level. How many countless times has she mentioned his “teal eyes” or his “movie star worthy smile”? She barely ever mentions that she likes his personality, if ever. Of course, Sophie says that Keefe's a great person all the time, and thought she does mention that he has a nice appearance, she never admires him purely for that surface-level aspect of himself the way she does to Fitz.(less)
