I... don't hate Fitz. I just hate how he handled his anger. It was all him yelling at Sophie, then them ignoring each other for a little bit, then him apologizing, then everything's good, then repeat. Yes, Fitz apologized and was remorseful, but... he still did the same thing to Sophie over and over again, and there's a point when apologizing isn't enough. He needed to show her how he could make it up to her, and instead, he yelled. Again.

The thing is, yes, Sophie wasn't being the best girlfriend, because, let's face it, she wasn't ready. She's still not. BUT.

Maybe in the 9th book, she WILL be. And then if Keephie happens, then I think that would be reasonable. She's not ready to date, maybe, but I also feel like she just wasn't meant to date FITZ specifically. Every time Fitz caught her and Keefe together, she mentioned that she had this feeling of wrongness. And I think that means deep down her heart knows either that Keefe likes her, she likes Keefe, or Fitz is jealous of Keefe. Or maybe deep down she knows all three. Either way, I believe that when Sophie said in the Healing Center at the end of Legacy that "maybe I'm not ready for a boyfriend or..." she was going to end that sentence with "or maybe I'm not ready to date you." Because they're just not meant to be.

Sophie has always seen Fitz through this perfect lens, and all the mistakes he made she glossed over like, ''no, he couldn't have done that. ''But in Legacy, she reached her final straw. And I think that she finally realized how utterly rude Fitz had been, and that he's not as perfect as she thought he was. Someone like Sophie, who ignores Fitz's flaws, shouldn't be with Fitz-- because Fitz and Sophie don't deserve each other. It was just... how things were meant to be.

Which sounds SUPER cheesy, but... I think Sophie knows in her heart what she wants, and so does Fitz.

And... it's not each other.
