A wannabe prep girl moves to a new Washington Town far away from home, and will do anything it takes to make it to the top of the social food chain, including murder.
Agreed with the above. I'll add that many writers often use this same description "...do everything it takes..." to no avail - it adds no detail and therefore is mostly useless in a logline.

Best you describe the character as desperate so we can empathise with her desperation, otherwise (as DPG pointed out) it would be hard for the audience to empathise with a killer.

Agree with Nir Shelter. ?She’s throwing under the bus a relationship based on giving love (that’s what parents do) for one based on getting love. ?It’s a selfish choice. Her depression may explain that choice, but it doesn’t justify it.
And if she’s adopting out her daughter because her love interest doesn’t want the baggage of the kid in their relationship — that just doubles the selfishness factor in the story line.
However, if the plot were to be about a woman who is struggling to rectify that selfish error, find and reconnect with her daughter — well then it would be a redemption story with a sympathetic character.
