Did you want it reviewed for Black or for White?

Did you want it to be reviewed before it has ended?

Both if possible. I was black and I am happy with my game. My friend was white and feels like he made several important mistakes.

Yes, we are through playing. In my estimation, black is favorable.

Well, here are some scattered thoughts. Apologies if the advice is a little superficial.

7: I would pincer instead. Q10 works better as the extension from a wall than as an anchor for Q14, imho.
8: Seems a little odd. Does not aim either at large scale development or at making a base. If W wants to play here, Q18 first seems reasonable.
9: Approaching the upper left corner is usually bigger (first corners, then sides, final center: asymmetric corners before symmetrical corners).
14: Staying high (4th line) keeps the pressure on Black and creates a lot of potential.
16: Seems lukewarm. Not close enough to threaten the lower right corner, not close enough to provide stability to H3.
19: There is a weakness around here, but it seems premature. Make a preparatory move like H5 first; if W ties his group more closely together you improve your shape in sente, if he doesn't that you can strike.
26: First, I prefer K2, which affects the strength of two groups (F3 and H3). Second, if W harasses B's left-side group from the bottom, B can dive in to the upper right corner and stabilize there; if W moves from the other side and blocks off the UR corner, on the other hand, B can only make a relatively boring 1-space extension, which provokes W to defend the LR corner as well (which he would like to do).
46: W can get away with connecting at H2. B must connect on the first line, and then W can still end with F4.
66: C11 is better.D9 will surely be captured.
78: Losing sente here is really hard for W. If W plays B8 instead, B still needs to defend but W then has no need for a defensive followup, and then can get more liberties for E12.
88: Because of O3, this is a dubious invasion. R17, R7, and R12 are all bigger, imho.

95: P2 kills.
99: This is good, but my intuition is that Q18 is bigger, since an invasion there is definitely alive, and after Br7, Wr12 may still be possible.
100: Seems dubious, the last corner is bigger.
102+104: W's two-space jump to O14 suggests to me that W now realizes that the second line wasn't very interesting after all.
