I guess "Hunger Games" should be mentioned here!
Written by a woman, main hero is a woman, and it's not too science-fiction-y.
While quite well written in my eyes it resembles a bit the "Twilight" kind of "programmed best-sellers" (also from what I know about "Twilight" wihout having read any of the books I guess there are some orders of magnitude in literary quality between the two).
So I'd give it a try as a suggestion.
Best regards,
Andy
