SOLVED: Adult Historical Fiction. Possibly time travel (but i'm not that sure). It started with a phrase like: I didn't write this book, I stole it. [s]

Okay, so the truth is that I haven't read this book yet, but I really want to. I was watching a video with book recommendations based on their first lines, around a year ago. There was this book which started with a phrase like: "I didn't write this book, I stole it". I'm not sure the first line was exactly this one, I might remember it wrong, but it was something quite similar to that. I think the book was time travel related, but I'm not absolutely sure about that either. But I'm 99% sure that it was somehow historical-fiction-ish related, whether because it included time travel, or because it was set on the past.

I read mostly adult books, so I suppose that this one was adult as well, but there are also chances it could be YA, although i don't think so. It definitely was not middle grade.

I know that I don't really have much information, but that's all I can remember. I tried finding the video but I could not, and I really want to read that book.

Any help is appreciated!

So ... searching that phrase in quotes, that book is not it then???

That's good! Sometimes you need objective assistance and writing out a query helps too.
