Keefe definetely needs to learn relationships with people other than Sophie. He's a very damaged cinnamon roll and I love him, but I think his Sophie-dependency and inability to get along with or even really try to be friends with anyone else is a problem the books aren't really adressing.

Especially Fitz. I'm not going to argue here about whether Fitz is/isn't a good character (For the record, though, I love him) but when it comes to the messed up relationship with Keefe, I think it's almost entirely Keefe's fault. He ditched Fitz for Alvar (Kind of/notreally/sort of) and then when he comes back he makes no real effort to fix their friendship. In fact, he's a straight-up jerk to him in nightfall. And he does this. Over. A girl. I think Fitz would be totally willing to forgive him and fix their friendship if Keefe tried, but he doesn't.

And then there's the Tam thing but It's less of a big deal because they were never really friends in the first place. And Biana. I'd love to see them be Actuall Friends now that she's over him.

Overall, I do agree that waaaaay to much time was spent of Angsty Keefe issues in Nightfall. Not that I don't like him, but a lot of the other characters kinda got pushed aside for this book, and I feel it was partially because of the overwhelming amount of foster-keefe. I'd like to see Keefe learn to be more mature in his relationships and get over his clingy dependency on Sophie. (Not judging. He is definitely in a hard place mentally and emotionally right now, and he needs help)  But I'd love to see him grow up a little (Read: a little. 100% mature Keefe would be lame.) and put effort into having actuall, meaningful relationships with the rest of the main cast.
