There is literally no reason I can think of as to why this book couldn't be a gender of choice lead book. It's not Historical Fiction, so it's not like playing as a male MC would completely alter the nature of the story because of the time period (unlike D&D and ACoR) and I can't see any part of the story relying on the MC being female. In Bloodbound, for example, there's a theory that the MC is The First Vampire (who is stated to be female). Just because LoveHacks had a female lead and this book seems to be following it its footsteps doesn't mean it has to have a femae lead as well (also, LoveHacks had multiple points of view).

America's Most Eligible would have a better excuse for being female only if it was (the MC in that series is replacing a contestant who has the title "Girl Next Door", so the producers could have specifically asked for a women), yet it's gender of choice.
