Here is the reference, heard in the audiobook I am currently listening to (A Tale for the Time Being, by Ruth Ozeki)*:
"Ruth's curiosity was piqued. It was clearly a diary of some kind. She examined the cover again. Should she read it? Deliberately now, she turned to the first page, feeling vaguely prurient, like an eavesdropper, or a peeping Tom..."

*About that book, here is the Audible review that convinced me to buy it:
"I bought this audiobook 5 years ago now. I've listened to it more than 10 times - at least twice each year - and it never gets old, never loses one bit of its magic. the author narrates the story beautifully and intimately brings each character to life. in my opinion, there's nothing in this world better than the kind of fiction that sweeps you in and immerses you entirely. if that brings you as much joy as it does me, I highly recommend A Tale for the Time Being."
