Sophie's denial is literally the best part of the book because in 300+ pages she:

a) Managed to convince herself that the smile Howl was using was a special smile that he used specifically to attract women. And that's the only reason she "fell" for it.

b) Listed absolutely everyone around, from people to dogs, as the reason for her recent anger, but didn't mention the real reason, which she knew perfectly well was Howl visiting ms. Angorian.

c) Describied Howl's beauty in one line with insults in his direction, and thought it was completely normal.

d) Sewed a suit for him and accidentally enchanted it to attract women, them began to explain any positive feelings towards him with this.

e) Was ready to literally destroy the garden when it turned out that the suit was not the case and so couldn't blame her emotions on one from now on.

f) Created a murderous weed killer among her jealousy and specific dislike for lilies. Still couldn't explain it to herself.

g) Almost killed that one crazy daredevil who decided to come and tell her that she's actually down for him pretty bad with it.

h) Went so far into her denial that the thought that the person she was in love with did not love her was a relief for her because it meant that nothing would change and she could continue to be in it.

i) Almost killed the above-mentioned person with the above-mentioned weed killer because she did not want to face her own feelings And because she chose murder.

j) Pushed a person out the door out of sheer jealousy. Still didn't do what she was expected to do, though.

k) When her own crush on Howl finally started to dawn on her, she decided to go save the person she thought he was in love with. He very obviously wasn't.

l) And, in the end, continued to think so even when Howl came to save HER in an absolutely terrible state, almost afraid of the thought that his appearance was a sign of true love.

What a woman.
