I haven't read the whole book yet, about 100 pages in. I wouldn't say there's anything uniquely male about it. I don't think there's anything gender specific about searching for something bigger than yourself, or wanting to change your circumstance or live in an alternate reality where you can be thin if you're fat, pretty if you're ugly and so forth. People might think it's more of a male book based on the fact that it has to do with virtual reality/gaming, and that tends to appeal more to men, but having read a little, I am enjoying it, even with my sensitive female brain. But who knows? Maybe page 101 is where it turns uniquely male. I don't know.
My vote would be for Modern Romance by Azziz Ansari. Getting pretty good reviews, plus it would be interesting to get male and female perspectives.
