I'm looking for romance books that have the same vibe as golden age/early Hollywood rom-coms (The Shop Around the Corner, An Affair to Remember, Bringing up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, etc). I'm not a fan of smut, does anyone have any suggestions?

Tom Lake, although it’s not a traditional “romance” book. But it’s a beautiful story including a romance, involving actors from the 60s(?)
[The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16181775-the-rosie-project). A brilliant but socially awkward professor embarks on a project to find the perfect wife, but is thrown for a loop when he meets Rosie, a fiery, beguiling woman who is everything he didn’t know he needed. Bringing Up Baby vibes!
But purely for the Old Hollywood setting, I’d recommend [The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32620332-the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo). Glamour, drama and intrigue, but it’s more a historical drama of Evelyn’s life rather than a pure romance. The love story is at its core, but it is also more of a subplot. It’s a fantastic book though, I highly recommend.
