So basically my novel consists of the following genres:


Urban fantasy
New Adult (somewhat; it's a high school setting but with details that exceed the boundaries of young adult)
Romance (somewhat; I've made a point not to focus the story entirely on it)


My main character is a female, though.

So what should I keep in mind so that my novel appeals to girls as well as guys?

Be careful with stereotypes. While us guys will, for whatever reason, go for the hottest-looking girl around, fictional or not, it may offend most female readers, especially if the stereotypes you apply to the character don't apply to the particular reader (and it rarely will).
